The horse and mule live thirty years
And  nothing  know of wines and beers
The goat and sheep at twenty die
And never taste of scotch or rye
The cow drinks water by the ton
And at 18, mostly done
The dog at 16 cashes in
Without the aid of rum or gin
The cat in milk and water soaks
And then in twelve short years it croaks
The modest, sober, bone-dry hen
Lays eggs for nogs, then dies at ten
All animals are stricly dry
And sinless live and swiftly die
But sinfull, gin-full, rum-soaked men
Survive for three score years and ten
And some of us, the mighty few
Stay pickled till we're ninety-two.
